build zones, teammates, and objectives)
- Added bigger, gorier blood spray, and some truly nasty wall splats
- Added retinal burn/motion blur effect to flash grenades
- Added visible armor levels on player models, those with detail at high or
super high get nice shader effects on the armor
- Statistics return! The classic end-round statistics screen is back with
improved score calculation and more data, and a new personal stats screen is

Notes:
- On new hit detection: hit detection is now very accurate. Players of previous
versions will immediately notice how much more difficult it is to hit people,
because the hit area was so large pre-2.1 you could literally shoot 1-2 feet
away from the body into thin air and cause damage. In this version, you can
shoot between people's legs, next to their heads or arms, and the bullet will
pass through. If you shoot thin air it will hit thin air. While this will cause
some frustration i'm sure (increasing the difficulty of a game will always do
that), accurate hit zones are very important for this mod and in time we hope
you realize this is for your benefit as well, as all this does is decrease the
luck factor. The better you get, the more this will benefit you.
- On the Med Station: Health boosts will only work after the first wave you
survive, but the level 2 and 3 MedStation upgrades can be used at any time.
* Level 1 heals moderate wounds instantly. Provides a 40 HP boost up to 100.
* Level 2 provides a 40 HP boost and a special endorphine vapor. Temporarily
reduces resting time for 20 seconds.
* Level 3 provides all of the above, plus a stimulant booster to reduce pain
response. Essentially functions as an extra 5% armor for 20 seconds.
It is used by entering the ventilation area and pressing your Interact key. You
can also only use it once per wave no matter which upgrade level.
- On horizontal recoil/sway: there are some things you can keep in mind to help
predict and control horizontal weapon recoil.
* The weapon is more likely to recoil to the right if using right-handed
weapons and vice versa for left. Hidden weapons use the same settings
as right-handed.
* The horizontal recoil will worsen the longer the trigger is held down. Firing
in bursts will keep the recoil effect to a minimum; almost non-existent.
* Crouching and standing still will reduce the effect greatly.
- Fogging and water: there is something in underwater fogging that seriously
disagrees with our mod at the moment, so the following problems are evident:
* Fog is not visible in water while alive
* Fog will become immediately visible once dying
* Fog sometimes won't remove itself from the camera if player dies underwater
We are letting you know we are aware of these problems, and we hope to find
the cause sometime soon.

Maps:
- Added WAR-WinterStorm by KilEmDed
- Added WAR-Predator by Ektophase
- Fixed karma ragdoll collision on many map objects
- Added MedStation support to Relics, optimized performance, fixed a couple
sticky spots and the fog HOM effect when zoomed on some rifles
- Updated MIS-Nightfall, MIS-MetroCity, and MIS-ArcticShatter with various
improvements and fixes
- Fixed some poly flipping in MIS-WaterPlant, rebuilt with uncompressed lighting,
lowered volume on some ambient sounds
- Official support for MIS-Factory has been dropped

:: [1] General Information ::
------
Q: What are &quot;Binds?&quot;
A: A &quot;bind&quot; is referring to a key/mouse/joystick button that is &quot;bound&quot; to a certain function in the
game. For example, if you opened your FragOpsUser.ini located in UT2004\FragOps\System, you'd find that the &quot;R&quot;
key is bound to Reload, which reloads your gun.
Q: How can i add a bind?
A: You can either manually add binds in your FragOpsUser.ini, or using the ingame console by typing
&quot;set input <key> <function>&quot;, for example:
set input R Reload
would do the same thing as in answer #1. There is also the ingame &quot;controls&quot; settings page, where
you can set up most of the basic controls in an easy-to-use visual interface.
------
Several binds are listed below which cannot be found in your control settings. They generally require
manual configuration.
a) Weapon Binds:
SELLWEAPON -- sells your currently held weapon back. Note that melee weapons can not be completely
^_ removed, only replaced by trading it for another.
BUYPRIMARY or BUYSIDEARM or BUYMELEE <weapon id#> [attachment slot#]
Buys a primary weapon matching the id# you enter.
^_ if you enter an attachment slot# as well, it will attempt to buy the weapon as well
^_ as the selected attachment. Attachment slots are as follows:
^_ 0: stock
^_ 1: attachment 1 (if available)
^_ 2: attachment 2 (if available)
^_ 3: both attachments (if available)
^_ If you do not have enough money for the weapon AND the attachment, it will only
^_ purchase the weapon by itself. If you are not on the team that can buy the weapon
^_ you desire, it will not buy it at all.
BUYGRENADE <grenade id#>
Buys a grenade with the specified id#.
^_ New grenades will automatically go into the first empty slot you have. If you already have
^_ a full grenade inventory, it will only replace the primary when buying. You must
^_ sell off your secondary grenade first if you wish for a new one to be placed there
^_ when using this bind.
BUYARMOR <Armor Level>
Buys Armor at the specified Armor Level.
^_ If no level is entered it defaults to light armor. If your armor is damaged and you
^_ wish to repair it, just buy it as usual and it will automatically repair and subtract
^_ the money needed.
example: typing &quot;BuyPrimary 1 3&quot; into your console would buy an SMP45 with all its attachments,
as long as you have enough money. 1 would be the weapon id# (listed below) and 3 would
specify all attachments. Whereas typing &quot;BuyPrimary 1&quot; would only give you a
stock SMP45.
b) Ammo Binds
BUYAMMO [1]
Buys ammo for your currently selected weapon.
example: If you type &quot;BuyAmmo&quot; into your console by itself, it will only buy one magazine.
If you type &quot;BuyAmmo 1&quot; into your console, then it will attempt to buy the maximum ammo
your weapon can hold or as much ammo as your current amount of money allows, whichever
comes first.
c) SPECIAL NOTES: BuyBinds follow the WeaponSell system, therefore any weapons you buy that replace
other weapons will readd the replaced weapon's money to your inventory.
d) The primary weapon buy id#'s are:
0)=Rygarr MP99
1)=SMP45
2)=MG5-SR
3)=MG5-SR
4)=Ultra90
5)=Ultra90
6)=Red Dragon
7)=Red Dragon
8)=FKE103
9)=FMS556
10)FP N90
11)FP N90
12)=Commando
13)=ZM8
14)=STF-U30
15)=STF-U30
16)=CT42
17)=CT42
e) The sidearm weapon buy id#'s are:
0)=UXP45-T
1)=UXP45-T
2)=SG PRO
3)=SG PRO
4)=Arctic Eagle
5)=8X
6)=AMP7-PDW
7)=RMP9
8)=Golden Eagle
9)=Golden Eagle
f) The grenade buy id#'s are:
0)=High Explosive
1)=Flash
2)=Napalm
3)=Smoke Red
4)=Smoke Yellow
g) The melee buy id#'s are:
0)=Machete
1)=Combat Knife
h) The armor buy id#'s are:
0)=Light Armor
1)=Medium Armor
2)=Heavy Armor
## SwitchTrait bind
i) Trait id's for SwitchTrait are
0)=P.O.W.
1)=Ninja
2)=Rambo
3)=Thug
4)=Pyromaniac
5)=Grunt
6)=Sniper
7)=Assassin
8)=Hacker
9)=Bomber
10)=Ex-Cop
11)=Tank
12)=Bloody Mess
13)=Sprinter
15)=Convict
16)=Outcast
------
:: [2] Performance Tweaks ::
!DISCLAIMER!
Any manual .ini changes you make are done at your own risk. Some of these may boost your performance,
some might make it worse. Experiment before playing online.
!DISCLAIMER!
a) Possible increase:
open FragOps.ini
change OverrideDesktopRefreshRate to True
change DesiredRefreshRate to the highest possible refresh your monitor can handle.
b) Another possible increase:
open FragOps.ini
change bCapFrameRate to False
change MinDesiredFrameRate to 40.000
This makes the game attempt to maintain a 40 fps framerate at all times. Just
a little extra padding if you're having slowdown.
c) If you're noticing pauses or slowdown when players first come on the screen, it's because
player skin preloading is off by default. This balances load time with performance, since
we cache all weapon skins no matter what this is set to. If you have a fairly quick pc, you
can get rid of these pauses by opening FragOps.ini, find the section labeled
[FragOps.FragOpsMission]
and change
bPreloadAllSkins=false to bPreloadAllSkins=true
This will increase map loadtime, but you will no longer get any pauses.
------
:: [3] Technical Information ::
a) Starting the game:
Use the included links to start the game in windows. Linux users can start the
game by simply typing &quot;./ut2004-bin -mod=FragOps&quot; where ut2004-bin is the name
of your UT2004 binary.
------
:: [4] KNOWN ISSUES! ::
-- BulletHole projectors occasionally darken/discolor terrain (ut2k4 limitation),
and therefore have been disabled
-- Taclight isn't as bright on terrain (ut2k4 limitation)
-- There are certain compatibility issues with Intel video chipsets. Please
consult our forum at http://forum.frag-ops.com for support with this.
-- Botmatch is only meant for practice, as AI will not provide the full
experience that an online game will due to unfinished AI code.

Notes:
- On new hit detection: hit detection is now very accurate. Players of previous
versions will immediately notice how much more difficult it is to hit people,
because the hit area was so large pre-2.1 you could literally shoot 1-2 feet
away from the body into thin air and cause damage. In this version, you can
shoot between people's legs, next to their heads or arms, and the bullet will
pass through. If you shoot thin air it will hit thin air. While this will cause
some frustration i'm sure (increasing the difficulty of a game will always do
that), accurate hit zones are very important for this mod and in time we hope
you realize this is for your benefit as well, as all this does is decrease the
luck factor. The better you get, the more this will benefit you.
- On the Med Station: Health boosts will only work after the first wave you
survive, but the level 2 and 3 MedStation upgrades can be used at any time.
* Level 1 heals moderate wounds instantly. Provides a 40 HP boost up to 100.
* Level 2 provides a 40 HP boost and a special endorphine vapor. Temporarily
reduces resting time for 20 seconds.
* Level 3 provides all of the above, plus a stimulant booster to reduce pain
response. Essentially functions as an extra 5% armor for 20 seconds.
It is used by entering the ventilation area and pressing your Interact key. You
can also only use it once per wave no matter which upgrade level.
- On horizontal recoil/sway: there are some things you can keep in mind to help
predict and control horizontal weapon recoil.
* The weapon is more likely to recoil to the right if using right-handed
weapons and vice versa for left. Hidden weapons use the same settings
as right-handed.
* The horizontal recoil will worsen the longer the trigger is held down. Firing
in bursts will keep the recoil effect to a minimum; almost non-existent.
* Crouching and standing still will reduce the effect greatly.
- Fogging and water: there is something in underwater fogging that seriously
disagrees with our mod at the moment, so the following problems are evident:
* Fog is not visible in water while alive
* Fog will become immediately visible once dying
* Fog sometimes won't remove itself from the camera if player dies underwater
We are letting you know we are aware of these problems, and we hope to find
the cause sometime soon.
